 Better vegan recipes elsewhere November 27, 2008

I'm keen on eating and drinking less animal products so I thought this book would be right up my alley. However, when it arrived from the library I was very disappointed. I am just grateful I didn't actually purchase this book. My biggest complaint, as others have said, is that this cookbook is not creative and relies far too much on processed meat substitutes. This may not be a problem for everyone, but as an avid cook bugged me. As others have said, many of these recipes are things you could have come up with simply by, for example, swapping in veggie burgers for beef or turkey burgers. It's not that this isn't a good swap, but it's a bit insulting to think that we couldn't have figured it out on our own. It also seems to suggest that a meal needs meat (if even a vegan substitute) at the center of the plate when in fact, perfectly delicious meals can be made with lots of vegetables and/or legumes. I've found far more delicious vegetarian and vegan recipes by checking out cookbooks like 1,001 Low-Fat Vegetarian Recipes: Easy, Great-Tasting Dishes for Everyone -- from Appetizers and Soups to Entrees and Desserts, Eat, Drink & Be Vegan: Great Vegan Food for Special and Everyday Celebrations, Veganomicon: The Ultimate Vegan Cookbook, and others. While not all of these cookbooks are low fat, many of their recipes can be easily made so. Best of all, they show that you can make a delicious meal without relying on veggie burgers. (Not that these aren't good, as I do enjoy them on occasion, but there are a lot of other delicious vegan options as well!)
Additionally, I was surprised that the recipes didn't list any nutrition, calorie, or fat information. This will likely be a disappointment for those counting calories or keeping an eye on things like fat or carbs.
Overall, I do not recommend this book as there are so many other fantastic vegan and vegetarian cookbooks that have more creative recipes.

If you read the whole thing and are still too stubborn to take action and follow it, at least you'll get a good laugh. These girls are awesome!

I was disappointed in this book because of the language. I expected some, but it is over the top and unnecessary. I bought it for my daughter and she feels the same. A lot of the recipes are not practical for our families.
